Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

I want to add a small point which is very important I think. As almost you all said that Digital India is beneficial for rural area people. But this is not the complete truth, there are many rural areas which is not getting electricity supply and the network problem is in.

Therefore the government should also take a major step towards these.

Digital India is one of the flagship initiative taken by GoI to achieve various interconnected goals mainly.

1. To promote e-governance 2. Digitally empower citizens 3. Restructure government schemes to be made easily accessible to public.

Digital India benefits Indian economy by inclusive growth and boosting GDP of India by electronic manufacturing and employment generation. It benefits mainly all those who want services and information to be accessible digitally which include business groups, students and all common people. They all get benefited in one way or others. Through this various financial transactions, information sharing could be done from anywhere.

Other benefits include increase in digital payments, broadband connectivity to villages, helps in financial inclusion, build smart cities, employment generation in IT sector, ease of doing business, number of internet user increased and most importantly Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) initiative through which poor benefited most of government schemes.

Challenges- 1. Universal access and connectivity 2. Digital literacy 3. Restriction on FDI 4. Cyber security.

Digital India has brought transperancy, accountability but a lot has to be done so that all section of society get benefited by overcoming gap between rural and urban, rich and poor, gender etc.

Hello everyone,

I would like to share my views on digital India. As you know with the implementation of demonetization we are witnessing a huge shift towards digital economy. Our prime minister has launched a large number of schemes which allow us to use internet while transacting. From the past 2 years we have seen people using internet in many activities whether it is shopping online, conversing online through texts, talking online, or ordering a home delivery for something, we are using internet in a wide range of areas. So we can say that India is becoming digitized. Now the question arises whether it is benefiting everyone or not. Well, as you know many poor people who don't have access to a smart phone or a cyber cafe in their locality may not be able to properly utilize this benefit but they are showing interest in learning how to use internet. So I would conclude by saying that those illiterate people would like to get educated on using internet in their daily lives, so this digitization is actually giving them opportunity to learn something new for earning a living because otherwise they might not have been able to learn to operate on internet throughout their lives. So in the long run it is a win-win situation for everyone. Thank you.

Hello, everyone.

I am Manish.

Here we are discussing Digital India good or not and whom does it benefit.

I think in the 21st century is the digital era, we can not go ahead without digital India, whereas it is either digital transactions or online services.

Digital India making life easy and simple in the field of

1) education like online study content, video content and 3D animated content making study simple and reaching it to everyone, where as they are lived in a village or urban area.

2) online services like e-ticketing, net banking digital, marketing and so on.

3) entertainment like watching a movie, playing the game,

Hello everyone.

The present era is the Era of digitalisation, which means most of the things are switching from offline to online mode, either it is banking sector, marketing sector, finance sector or advertisement sector, gone were the days when we have to stand in the queues and wait for our turn to deposit electricity bill, or paying lic premiums but now it is just one tap away. In Corona time digital media has helped a lot from education to ordering online foods.

It has benefited each and every sector, and every individual who knows how to utilise technology in a better manner.

The main advantage of digitalisation is there is complete transparency, in the system so that nobody can do black marketing or hoarding.

Hello friends.

Today, I am giving my views on topic digital India. It is the modern era so now life is going digital with digital India. Peoples are taking advantages of digital India. Like online payment, online classes online money transfer etc. It saves us time. During the time of the lockdown, it was very helpful.

But as every coin has two sides it also has some demerits. Now people are becoming lazy. Lakhs of birds and animals are becoming dead to make digital India. And also small villagers can't take advantage of this. In my opinion, it should not be limited to large cities but also improve in small villages people should be taught about technology so that everyone may take benefit of this.

Thank you.

Digital India is a great and one of the most important initiative by the India government and it is one of those projects that will help India to reach $5 trillion economy and it's a strong step towards being a developed nation.

Digitalization has completely changed the lifestyle of the people of India. Each and every sector is benefiting from this and now we're shifting from traditional to digital era. From banking to shopping, from online education to video calling, making bill payments to transfer money in seconds digital platforms are making things smooth and fast.

But we should not forget it has few disadvantages as well. If the bank accounts are being hacked then all the hard earned money will disappear within seconds. Its also very addictive especially for kids and it can seriously damage their eyes.

Hello everyone,

Let me put light on how digital India benefits India, digitalisation is a great move to build an economy and a good economy because if India comes on the digital platform so we can monitor or easy to maintain the data digitally.

It is a secure method to keep your data online which is easily accessible. Digitalisation also reduces the paperwork which indirectly saves our environment, people were using smartphones nowadays and they do not want to carry physical money so they carry money in their phone which is also help them, people were getting everything in one place this is the benefit of digitalisation like railway ticket, bus ticket, taxi, hotels, etc.

Digital India is a good concept to discuss.

One will be waiting in line for transactions in banks.

It also helps in bookingonl8ne tickets. Which is helpful in travelling time.

One can travel all over the world without a single rupee in the pocket as there are many apps for money transactions.

So safety from theft is assured.

Hacking is the problem but is can be overcome with time.

One day India will become full digital India.

No paperwork will have remained.

So many trees are required for papermaking will be saved and which will save the human life.

So the topic is "digital India: whom does it benefit", the answer is people of India. The question should be in which way it is helping. So how it's helping me in daily life I will tell you, earlier for booking a railway ticket I go to a city 30 km away from my home-town, now on my phone at home I can book my ticket, now I can book any kind of ticket online and also cancellation and refund is faster than earlier. For paying any electricity bill, paying at a merchant shop, at the mall is easier. The best thing is you don't have to carry any money with you so the safety of money is also there, booking a hotel, flight. Doing mobile, DTH recharge is all in your hand. Although it has not reached to any part of the rural India it is spreading day by day. As one said technology has it's own benefit and disbenefit, going online also put you at risk of hacking and all.
